Pregnancy & Parenting - 8 January 2007

my 7.5 month old daughter has dry spots on her head. we thought it was cradle cap at first, but its getting Bad. i took her 2 the doctor, and they tested for yeast/fungal infection, but both were negitive. He wants to treat her for Ringworm, however, i dont think its ringworm. Since ringworm is a fungus, i thought doing the fungus screening would rule it out. also it is not in rings its in shape-less patches.the entire area is very dry and flaky, and it seems to itch pretty badly. my daughter tries to itch and scratches herself making bloodly spots. she will rub her head on things.

when i looked up ringworm it said it usually is bad around the edges then it gets better in the middle. it is the oppisite with my daughter, the edges are just starting to get flaky and the middle looks really bad.
there is no puss or oozing from the spots, and i can comb her hair and the flakes come off and it turns into red patches. however it is back to the same in the morn.

I am 34 weeks and I didn't find out the sex. I have been getting non-stress test and nocticed that the babys heartbeat is very low. It stays around 130. I have 3 boys and they all were around 140-150. I was really hoping for a girl but they say boys are low and girls will be high, up around 160. So do you think this means it will probally have to be a boy.
I just want to hear what your heartbeats were and what you had? Thank you!

Could anyone tell me about morning sickness? I'm supposed to be starting my period at the end of this week and have been feeling a little more sick than usual. I have been incredibly tired, a little dizzy, feverish and for the past two nights I have been REALLY sick at night, a little sick in the morning and fine in the afternoon. I'm not one of those girls who thinks that they are pregnant 24/7, I'm just not used to these kind of symptoms. Could it be acid reflux disease or something like that?
Calling all mothers!!Please help. thanks so much!

She didn't fall off of or down anything; just decided to let go and walk like she's been doing for weeks, and this time gravity got the best of her.

She keeps sucking her lip and breaking it back open so that it bleeds again, then she gets understandably upset and cries inconsolably. I've got her asleep now; any advice on how to prevent her sucking and opening it up again when she wakes?

I understand the fairness factor and we make things equal as far as love, gifts, and attention. But she goes far and beyond that and wants to go to speech therapy like her sister, go to the doctors if her sister has to go just to name a few. I tried to explain it to her but she feels it's unfair. why does she feel this way and how can I help her stop going to far with the fairness?

My girlfriend and I had a bit of a scare less than a month ago when a condom slipped off but i didn't think there was any contact. Just last nite she complained of odd stomach pains, not like a stomach ache or anything she'd felt before? She's buying a home pregnanacy test after school but if it says no, what's the accuracy of it!? Please help......

He throws a fit every time I need to go somewhwere he does not want to go, he says he hates me and if I threaten to take something away he just looks at me with a smirk on his face and says good I don't care. He missed the bus for school this morning because he wouldn't get out of bed and get dressed. I have to constantly check on him to make sure he is getting ready for school or to do his home work or to do anything. I put his clothes out in the morning to save time and hassle and he complains about the shirt I put out.

Has anyone ever wanted to travel a long distance (from WI to FL) during their 32 week and what did the doctor say? We would be driving so the airline is not a issue, but I am wondering what the doctor might say and other people's experiences. I am having a planned c-section about 2-3 weeks before my due date and I don't know if needing a c-section and not being able to do a natural birth would or could account for any reason not to either. Thanks for any thoughts!!

My son will be entering Kindergarten at almost 6 yr. old due to the birthday rule in our state. Hes very smart, shy and slow to warm. He has attended a pre-school program which has been more of just a two hr/3 days/wk babysitting session. I kept him there for many reasons (different story).
We are not Catholic. Its several thousand dollars/year. A small school w/one class per grade through 8th. Very academic oriented school w/ Spanish & computers as regular classes starting at Kindergarten.
The public school is a very good one in our district. Has an open classroom format which is less than desirable, to us. The curriculum is standard -good - & virtually no security issues at this time.
Our main concern against public is the open classroom, student:teacher ratio of 1:18 and values of many families we have met...they are just not in line with ours. Good people, differnt lives.
Against Catholic is cost and "elitism" attitude of others in community.
What are your thoughts?

My boyfriend and I were involved in heavy petting on December 19. My last period started on December 8, was heavy and lasted five days. So December 19 was long before I should have ovulated. No semen got inside me and my boyfriend did not penetrate. Yes, I know it is possible to get pregnant from pre-ejaculate, but there wasn't any of that inside me but some on my vulva. We were trying to be careful. My period is not totally regular (anywhere from 29-35 days). My last cycle was 35 days and the one before that was 33 so I tend to be longer. Today would be 33 days and last night I started experiencing some dull, light cramping. It's more poignant this morning, but no bleeding yet. I'm wondering if it is possible that these could be implantation cramps even though it's been three weeks since possible fertilization and I probably ovulated around New Year's Eve weekend (two weeks after possible fertilization). Or am I just freaking out and this is AF coming slowly? Help. Thanks.

My son who is in the middle of his grade 2 year just went back to school this morning (yay this holiday seemed too long lol). The morning went very well he actually woke up happy and co-operative. He is a bright boy for his age. After we left the house he decided to pull a fit and stand in the middle of the sidewalk just not moving. 5 minutes to the bell (we live only a few minutes away). I tried to stay nice about what he was doing saying things like lets go and see all the friends you have missed. Nothing worked. I finally picked him up and layed him across my arms oh yeah while i am pushing my double stoller with my daughters in it. I brought him a few steps from the crossing guard hoping he would walk on his own the crossing guard stopped all the cars and he to stay stearnly lets go! then my son finally went! I dont know what my sons problem was and still dont quite know he was mumbling something about arguing. I know he will forget everything by the time i pick him up after school

Alright im so confused, I was suppose to start my period on Jan 6 nothing at all. On Jan 5th I took a hpt test got a faint postive. I have been having period like cramps since thursday and yesterday I have been spotting along with today. Im making a dr's appointment to find out what is going on. Is this normal in pregnancy to bleed a little? THe Blood is brown and a slighty pink. Theres not much like it would be during my period, not enough to use a maxi pad or anything but im confused. Has anyone ever had the same problem?

My baby is 5 days old..we live on upper level of apartment and its usually about 70 inside but at night it sometimes drops to 65. We wrap her in a recieving blanket and then another thicker blanket and then another one on top to kinda keep her from rolling or moving around to much. She doesnt appear to warm or uncomfortable but im worried she may be to warm and something might happen?

Why do all the females that think they are pregnant come on here to ask? wouldn't it be a lot smarter to ask your Doctor, rather than explain your period to the world and ask for opinions?
